Hello Neil , An suggestion for -D function of mdadm please allow use of '-c/--config=' ? I tried the suggestion below . But I did not want to overwrite the /etc version of mdadm.conf , cause it works . So I tried to use the -c option & mdadm replies with the below . Tia , JimL ~# mdadm -V mdadm - v0.8.2 - 11 April 2002 ~# echo '/dev/hd* /dev/sd*' > ./mdadm.conf ~# mdadm -Dsb -c ./mdadm.conf >> ./mdadm.conf mdadm: option c not valid in misc mode ~# mdadm -Dsb --config=./mdadm.conf >> ./mdadm.conf mdadm: option c not valid in misc mode On Tue, 30 Apr 2002, Neil Brown wrote: > On Monday April 29, bo@sosnetwork.net wrote: > > Hello, > > > > How to detect and activate the RAID manually without > > "auto detection"(0xFD in partition type)? > > > > I tried with "mdadm -R" or "mdadm -A", but it did not work. > > echo '/dev/hd* /dev/sd*' > /etc/mdadm.conf > mdadm -Dsb >> /etc/mdadm.conf > > # look at /etc/mdadm.conf and make sure that it looks ok. > > # add "mdadm -As" to an appropriate startup script. > > Note that this won't work for assembling the root filesystem. > To do that, you either need an init-ramdisk which runs "mdadm -As", or > use kernel parameters to start the root device.e.g. > > append="root=/dev/md0 md=0,/dev/hda1,/dev/hdc1" > > NeilBrown > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | James W.
